A high school football player from Cleveland High School was taken to the hospital after going into cardiac arrest on Friday night during High School OT’s game of the week.

Wake EMS was called to Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School during the varsity football game against Cleveland.

According to the High School OT announcer, the athlete took a big hit during the game before going down, and medics began chest compressions on the field. Soon after, the crowd is heard erupting into applause.

“You never want to see that,” the announcer said. 

 Officials said the athlete was taken to the hospital and does have a pulse.

WRAL News is working to confirm the student athlete’s current condition.
